SILVER LEGISLATION.

In preparing for the Winters work
in Washington, it seems to US that
the silver men OF Colorado, Mon
tana, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah
ought to agree upon line of action.
We believe that bill which would
provide for the retirement OF the
greenbacks, SO fast as their place
could be filled with silver certificates
providing to accept and issue
certificates on all the American
bullion presented until the green
backs could be retired; to stop the
purchase OF silver bullion and to
leave the coinage OF silver to the
discretion of the Treasury, could
be carried through both Houses OF
Congress. The President might
veto it, but even if he did, there
would be an advantage gained. 1t
would set the country inquiring why
it was necessary to veto the bill,
and the result would be a better I'M
Outstanding of the question. Then,
maybe, the bill would not be veto
ed. Maybe the prospect of retir-
ing some $500 900, 900 of the debt
at no expense, except the printing
OF the certificates, would be strong
appeal to hard money party.
Moreover, we do not believe there
would be any such determined fight
made to overthrow the measure as
has been made in times past. We
believe the gold men begin to real
ize that their fight upon the white
metal was a mistake from the first.
If that plan could be adopted it
would require seven years to call
in the greenbacks. Surely the
certificates backed by silver in the
vaults, and the faith of the Nation
besides, ought to be as good as the
greenbacks are, backed only by
faith without the specie. Before
seven years, before half of seven
years, the question would be settled
whether silver is a royal metal or
not, whether its rightful sphere is
as a measure of the worlds values,
or whether indeed it is only fitted
for merchandise. We believe it
would not be over two years until
the white metal would be in its old
place beside that of gold, and that
the men and journals that have
fought its restoration would be go
ing around asking men to kick them
for being SO misguided in the past.

SULLIVAN IN EN GLAND.

1t will be a hard blow to British
pride if John Sullivan puts the
English champion to sleep. We
have beaten England at target
shooting and yacht racing, and if
the climax is capped by their defeat
at what they consider their "best
holt" it will be q nation
al humiliation hard to bear. There
can be little doubt of the outcome
of his next battle; Smith will whip
Kilrain, and Sullivan will whip
Smith. The other night, when the
American champion stripped in
boxing bout at St. James Hall, the
audience prepared, as they were, to
see something extraordinary in the
way of perfect physical develop
ment, were simply astonished at
the figure of the Boston gladiator.
IT was as if marble Hercules had
stepped off some pedestal and be-
come endowed with life. Their
wonder was still further augmented
when they saw this man OF ponder
GUS frame skip about his antagonist
like cat. Great strength and
great activity are seldom combined
En~lsch hoxyn a Il.
ways held that middle-sized man
with scientific skill could whip any
body. They thought SO when they
backed Tom Savers against Heenan,
and SO deeply rooted was that idea
that even to this day the English
cannot realize that Sayers was
beaten.
If Sullivan has fair play-which
Heenan did not have-he will make
a chopping block of Smith. 1t will
be his last bare-knuckle fight, and
he will fight to make it a grand bat
tie; something to go down into ring
history as one of the great meetings
of modern times. The papers will
talk about the "brutal exhibition
ETC., but every American will hope
To see the New World knock ou
the Old, and we will ali say 81
told you so" when the wire brings
the news. n

The CUTTING AFFAIR.-Mayor Smoot
this morning investigated the difficulty
which occurred in this city on Monday
night between the two youths, Ernest Pick
in and Robert Knox, in which the latter
wAs badly cut about the face with an eraser
by the former The witnesses, five Of the
companions of the youths, employed in the
same Office, testified in substance that the
two got into It IoW in the elevator in the
Virginia Midland binding, in Washington,
on Monday, and that during the day the
affair was frequently referred to by the two
aud their friends and that it was generally
believed that Knox and Pickiu would fight
when they reached this city that evening.
P,ckin leli on an earlier train than the 9TH
er- and when they reached this city he was
on the platform waiting. When Knox got
oil the train he walked up 10 Pickin, and in
friendly way patted him on the shoulder,
when the two started OF down the street
together, the others following. They went
to an alley on Henry street, between Came
ron and Queen, when Pickin told Knox that
he had insulted him and demanded an apol-
ogy KuoX refused 10 apologize, when
Pckin struck him with cane The two
clinched, and Knox was getting the best of
the tight, having forced Pickin against a
house, when the latter drew an eraser from
his pocket and cut Knox several times with
it on the face. The witnesses did not know
that Knox was hurt till he said Boys he
has cut me, aud had no idea that the affair
would result seriously. Dr5. klipstein aad
Fairfax testified that the wounds were made
with sharp blade and were clear cuts
which would not probably disfgure young
Kuox. After hearing the testimony the
Mayor stated that after consultation with
Commonwealths Attorney Marbury, he had
determined not to send Pickin on to the
grand jury, as he did not wish to impose g
more severe punishment than he could help.
But he should be punished, for it was
evident that he had prepared himself for
the attack and with means of defence. AS
they were young men, however, and in con-
sideration of the feeling he entertained for
their families, he would dismiss the case by
imposing fine of $40 on young Pickin. The
fine was paid and the matter thus settled.
Young Knox was not present st the trial,
being confined to his home by his injuries
which, however, the doctors say, are not Sc
